Well this made it here sooner than planned, but no big deal. I'll try to give a bit of information on this project for everyone so things are clear.
PHOTOS   INFORMATION Yes, we have a manufacturing license and this is the first product we are releasing. Our goals are not world domination, so don't get too excited, we just wanted to create a small (high quality) collectible item for the community who has been a family to us and to each other. This was something people wanted and it took us years to get everything in line and make it a reality. The price is a little higher than other lowers you can find, the reason for that is we had a choice to have them made local or at a machine shop with a ton of experience. Since we're talking hundreds versus thousands of lowers and calling in a favor or two to get machine time, that helped set the price. ($155+$10 shipping for those who have been asking.) The way we look at is simple, a lower is a lower. The only exception to that is if you go with a new shop with no experience, you risk the initial lowers having potential problems while the company grows into a comfort level. Hopefully that answers the majority of questions. Again, we are not here to make thousands of lowers and try to dominate an already great market, we want to offer you guys a chance to have something a little special. One of the "perks" of being a lifetime member is early access to special projects like this as well as providing input for these projects. At this time we have opened sales to Moderators (see mod global forum) and will have these available to everyone next week. As we run out of inventory we will either stop orders or allow for orders to continue as "pre-orders" on incoming lowers. At this time we are also offering ONLY stripped to allow you to build them up how you wish. We have plans to include these into upcoming SEBR projects and possibly offer them as complete lowers. Oh and it's pronounced "honey oye" falls.  |

Goatboy,
Any chance you could set up a pre-order now for us mere mortals that want in on this? Or should we just stay tuned and hope we get in on time when they become available?  |

We lifers didn't buy them all up. We saved some for you guys, not many, but some.
Plus the second batch has been ordered.
Paper work is in place, all the i's have been dotted, all "T' have crossed, perproduction samples approved, so the wait will be quick as compaired to the lifers. We waited 2 yeasr for these to come to life, the other members won't wait hardly as long. My #48 is in hand. Sure is nice. My first stripped lower. |

Once you get most if it off use your favorite oil to clean it the rest of the way. I've found after getting the crayon in mostly "right" it also helps to hit it lightly with a heat gun. Releases any trapped air and helps the wax all even out and fill in any tiny gaps. Do this on a flat, level surface |

Maybe there was a previous thread before the one with the number reservations. I could swear it was before the 4/23/2008 thread. I really thought that I posted interest before 09 because I really thought that it wasn't going to happen after the long wait. I can't wait to pick mine up next week. I'm going two tone FDE. |
